Dear Colleagues,
Today's newsletter contains Web resources about suicide, obviously an important topic. In the U.S. alone, there are over 30,000 deaths by suicide each year.
Suicide rates are particularly high among persons with bipolar disorder, particularly at the time of the switch from depression to mania or vice versa, schizophrenia, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, major depression, and substance-induced depression.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues,
